Finally! :D

where i am it's been in the 100's all week long :O

Maybe they should update Fahrenheit so what's 110 now is 100. :P

Better to just get rid of fahrenheit altogether. :P

Agreed. Why is 212 boiling and 32 freezing? 100 and 0 make much more sense

@Potato: but why base the scale off water? The Fahrenheit scale is, as far as I know, supposed to be based on the highest and the lowest temperatures that are encountered in the USA. Problem being that it is actually frequently above 100 degrees. :P (does it get below 0 too?)

0 F is -17.78 C, so yes, it goes below 0 F too. :P

How do you mean, "So yes"? I wouldn't be surprised if it did not. I don't recall it ever getting that cold in the Netherlands (although I looked up the coldest temperature measured in the Netherlands ever and it was slightly below).

Because I'm certain that it has been below -17.8 C in the US. When I was in the Czech Republic a few years ago it was below -20 C.

It will be 33 degrees C here tomorrow, nice ending of the heat... :rolleyes:

Hey, the heatwáve has ended, not the heat. ;)

I personally don't care about such names, I just care about how hot it is. Here it's already hot. Annoying. :P

The definition is fairly arbitrary of course, but there is a big difference between 5+ hot days and 1 hot day!
Because because it was cool yesterday, you will have been able to cool down your rooms. As such it will be a lot cooler inside today than it would be if it was the same temperature last week.

In my room that tends to not really work, for some unknown reason. :P And when you are outside all day, like today, it having been colder doesn't particularly help. :P Where I was yesterday it also was 28+ degrees C, with burning sun. :P

I'm sorry for you. :P

Thanks. :P Tomorrow it will be a lovely 29 degrees C here... >.>
